I ruined my back!@#%%%%

[HeyHeyitsMaay]

I've done it this time. I stayed after school today to practice making beds for my test on it tomorrow...

It may or may not be relevant to this but as I was making dinner a couple of hours later all of a sudden it felt like I'd been electrocuted in my lower back. The pain shocked me so much b/c of the intensity I screamed. Pain doesn't usually elicit much of a response from me , but it was out of the blue and man did it hurt.

I practiced body mechanics! I raised the bed! what in the WORLD?!?

I am now walking all kinds of funny and can't sit up straight or lay down.

eep! I've never had a back problem in my life.

Pray it goes away! I'm so frustrated!

If you strained your back somehow at school, it's possible that some small movement while cooking caused a muscle spasm. When I worked as a cashier I frequently had to lift 40-50 lbs, but it was never THAT lift that caused pain. It was reaching for the toilet paper, or picking up my cat, or hanging up a towel, or rolling down the car window that made me scream. I hope you're feeling better soon.
